_ Seize the E!: The Eclectic Journal and Its Ramifications_ I am pleased to announce the availability of my PowerPoint presentation prepared for NASIG 2002 Transforming Serials: The Revolution Continues [ http://www.nasig.org/wm/ ] [ http://www.nasig.org/wm/program.htm ] SUMMARY. In recent years, an increasing number of electronic journals have embedded audio, video, and other multimedia within their publication to augment their usefulness. In addition, some have further enhanced access and use with a variety of 'eclectic' features, functionalities, and content, such as advanced navigation; font, format, and display control; modeling; personalization and customization options; and reader participation. In general, most cataloging records, however, do not reflect such components, depriving users of the necessary information and instruction that could facilitate use. A variety of recommendations and options are reviewed as possible solutions. _Seize the E!: The Eclectic Journal and Its Ramifications_ is available at: [ http://www.public.iastate.edu/~gerrymck/SeizeTheE.ppt ] In addition to relevant screen prints and summaries, the presentation includes appropriate sound and special effects [Note: Use those headphones/speakers for full enjoyment; 3D glasses are optional [:->] A companion paper for the presentation has been prepared and submitted for formal publication in the conference proceedings; look for it in the NASIG 2002 issues in The Serials Librarian in 2003. Joy! /Gerry Gerry McKiernan Eclectic Librarian Iowa State University Ames IA 50011 [log in to unmask] "The future of scholarship will be both diverse and complicated, with rich options for publication using a variety of multimedia and eclectic features, functionalities, and content. To facilitate access and use, catalogers and cataloging should identify and delineate these components"
